Features and Benefits

Prepare for the future – today! 

 

Ease of Installation

Front access neutral and ground as well as splice plates for easier connections make working on Evolution Series Switchboards simpler, quicker, and safer.

 

Improved Arc Flash Mitigation

Evolution accommodates the advanced technology built into GE EntelliGuard® circuit breakers and trip units:

  • Instantaneous Zone Selective Interlocking (I-ZSI) simultaneously provides arc fault protection and instantaneous selectivity – an industry first!
  • Reduced Energy Let Through (RELT)

 

Instantaneous trip allows a circuit breaker to be temporarily set to a more sensitive pickup to provide better protection during installation and maintenance, providing an added margin of safety for personnel.

 

Enhanced Selectivity
Evolution Series Switchboards are compatible with Record Plus, Spectra and EntelliGuard circuit breakers.

 

Expanded Ratings
The Evolution Series provides expanded coverage for nearly every switchboard application:
  • 6000A rating
  • 667A/sq.in. bus density
  • 4000A 100% rated stationary
Efficient Footprint
The unique design of the front neutral space in the Evolution Series provides the clearance to accommodate additional breakers in a more efficient footprint.
